Beskrivning
This "unauthorized biography" of cognitive neuroscience unveils hidden errors in current mind-body accounts and sheds new light on basic scientific issues.Neuroscientist Leslie Brothers argues that our understanding of the brain is determined by popular beliefs about the mind. She critiques "neuroism," which explains the mind in terms of individual brains, and shows that widely held assumptions about the promise of contemporary brain research are largely false. This book opens up new territory as it uncovers the real connections among human biology, human sociality, and the mind.
